I know, it's been a while. I went on a vacation to my moms house to see my brother and even though I came home a week ago, I've just been dragging.

I'm hoping that will change a little, as I get some Christmas sewing finished up.

I started with this precious dress. The bodice is Little Lizard King's Aarhus.

That gorgeous split back skirt is from Little Lizard King's Lund.

They are a dream together! They even come in a bundle here.

The sleeves on those dresses are gorgeous, but for this project, I wanted more flowy poet type sleeves. I used Hampton from Simple Life.

The fabric is woven from Dream Seams Fabric.

The fabric arrived just as I got home from my vacation, so it was perfect inspiration.

The red solid fabric is simple Walmart cut by the yard, and the gold is from Fabric.com.
